1. Liverpool/PSV was the game featured on ESPN2. Total snoozefest. Benitez is one of the most negative managers I have ever seen. Keeping Gerrard on the bench for 3/4 of the game is just bizarre. But he must know what he's doing because he's one of the best cup managers' in the world right now.

2. Barcelona is just too good. Winning a Champion's League match 5-0 in a monsoon says it all. If Thuram stays healthy they won't be beat.

3. Inter Milan are the Knicks of European football. Spend loads and loads of money on name players, yet underachieve every season.

4. Chelsea also spends a ton of money, but unlike Inter they know what they're doing. Chelsea/Barcelona on Halloween. Wow.

5. Lyon/Real Madrid is going to be a nice match tomorrow. Especially after the buttkicking Madrid took from them last year.

Barça won't win this this year, they're too full of themselves and they should be tired by season's end as most of their players have played a massive amount of minutes last two years and have had less time to rest this summer because of the world cup.

Ronaldo: old fat ass, won't play much under Capello, may get traded before season's end
Raul: broken down player, can't believe people still consider him a star
Robinho: flashy useless player
Beckham: can have a good season with Van Nistelroy on the team
Roberto Carlos: if you've always been known by your athleticism and you're 33... you're doomed
Van Nistelroy: will have a great season, around 25 goals or so
Cannavaro: great player
Yup, they won't win anything this year, the King's cup maybe, but that's all
